After the 3g's never found any treasure in Texas, Spain lost their interest in east Texas. They decided to establish missions to not only occupy the land but to also spread Christianity to the native 3g's. the 3g's started rumors on Cibola(the city of gold). Spain success and colonization led to other european nations exploration and colonization in the case of the English and the original 13 colonies of the united states. Spain would the settle in Mexico and Texas to provide them with their early history and lasting culture.
